This recipe makes a lot of terrific cookies! It's great for Christmas when all the kids and grandkids visit. They can help decorate the cookies-not to mention help eat them! Besides baking and decorating cookies and cakes, I enjoy taking long walks through our New York countryside.

Nice, light lemon flavor. Halved recipe and used 1 1/2 T of lemon extract instead of peel. I also topped with a lemon glaze. Light and tangy-sweet.

I would have liked more lemon flavor. I was actually surprised by the very little lemon flavor since we grated an entire lemon peel into this recipe. However, I did as one suggested and added the rest of the lemon juice in a second batch and that helped, but still would have liked a little more lemon flavor.

I used the juice of the whole lemon instaed of just two teaspoons. Other than that, this was PERFECT for my first experience with spritz cookies!

Absolutely excellent spritz. I prepared half a recipe as a "test batch" and they disappeared quickly! I'll be including these on the cookie tray I bring to my office's holiday pot luck.

I forgot to mention that they were delicious! These also have less flour & sugar in them which would both mean less carbs. Hope this helps.
I made these ate Christmas time for my husband, who is diabetic. If memory serves me correctly they were only about 6-7 g.carbs ea. Check the Lime Spritz recipe, I don't imagine they would be even quite as much sa them, as they have jello in them which these do not.

I made these cookies with my mom a couple years ago and came looking for the same recipe b/c i remember them being so good! I'm excited to make them again. Pretty sure we followed the recipe exactly.

Why is it that this is the only Spritz Cookie recipe that doesn't list the Carbs, etc.?
